There's many reasons why the homeless may choose not to sleep in shelters or certain types of low income housing.

People may be forced to give up property or pets, may be separated from companions. The indoor housing could be unhealthy and vermin filled. It could be an unhealthy environment and den of drug use that the person is trying to avoid.

In Vancouver reporting on the homeless that have chosen to live in Strathcona Park (some 200+) a park resident noted that they were offered a spot at a Single Room Occupancy hotel, but he left because there were "crazy people with machetes" running around.

It's incredible but many of these options for the homeless are so substandard that sleeping outside is a better, healthier and safer option.

Assuming that the topology will be additional highly-inclined/polar orbit starlink satellites, communicating with each other in a laser chain, this will be dependent on starlink setting up earth stations near fiber somewhere in southern Chile, Argentina or in South Africa. Or south australia, tasmania, new zealand.

The ballots were on camera in the room the entire time, if reporters had been sent home they still wouldn't have appeared out of a mystery suitcase. They were sealed on camera, then unsealed on camera, and counted on camera. They have been counted and recounted and recounted.

I don't know if reporters were "sent home" as you are claiming, or if they "left" as described by this video when election employees were initially closing up for the night, but either way the monitors and media saw those ballots go into the boxes and Giuliani was still lying about where they came from.

Instead of filing massive law suits, why doesn't Dominion attempt to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that the machines were _not_ biased with technical evidence.

I feel that open sourcing their code would definitely do the trick. It is kinda baffling that something as important as an election is ran on closed-source proprietary codebase.
this method is absolute snake oil. Google around. Most myopia is axial in nature - in layman terms - your eyeball is just too long. No amount of exercises or staring into the sun is going to reduce its length.

I don't know, but San Francisco, Seattle, and Austin are all pretty similar politically, falling to the left of the democratic mainstream. I don't think that's a new development since they became tech hotspots.

As for whether it's compassionate, I'd just note that at the extreme, compassion stops being a virtue.
There are people out there who, end of the day, are going to do things the people in charge don't like. There are 3 options:

- Tolerate the behaviour
- Remove their freedom
- Kill them

Even if the plan is to try to persuade them to behave differently, that still has to be done while either tolerating misbehaviour or removing their ability to misbehave.

The line between tolerance and removing freedoms has to be drawn somewhere. This question of yours isn't helpful to the debate - the only way to push the conversation forward is to proactively say where you want the line drawn. All that this question will do is discover that the line is drawn arbitrarily and has uncomfortable edge cases. But that is a property of any legal boundary. Nobody has yet been able to draw a line that isn't arbitrary.

No I’m saying that the comment that brought up life expectancy was a joke. Responding to that with a 15 pager was the aforementioned pedantry. My comment was not a joke just a cheap shot
As far as I know he only said that in the Pennsylvania case, because they had quite a strong argument there that the rules changes made in Pennsylvania violated their state constitution, and then given limited time/resources they went with the argument there that was easier to prove. But that was one of the cases dismissed over procedure. The courts essentially said they should have complained about it before the election instead of after.

So this is another example of the same thing. Rhetorically effective if you don't look at the details, so media stories everywhere, but not convincing to the other side.

And part of this is a problem specifically because they never really got to have a trial and do discovery and all of that. Because if you go through the whole process then it comes out one way or the other. But if the cases get dismissed on procedure then you have one side saying "all your cases were dismissed so shut up" and the other side saying they never actually got their day in court and nothing to ever reconcile them because both statements are true.

The sober conclusion:

> That’s cool but it’s also a terrifying proof of concept. If pure collective will can create a valuable financial asset, without any reference to cash flows or fundamentals, then all you need is a collective and some will. Just hop on Reddit and create value out of nothing. If it works for Bitcoin, why not … anything? Why not Dogecoin? Why not Signal Advance? Tesla Inc.? GameStop?

And my idea for a weekend project, based on the paragraph below:

> We talked recently about how the stock of a micro-cap company called Signal Advance Inc., which shot up 5,100% after Elon Musk tweeted something about an unrelated app named Signal. The error, as it were, was quickly corrected: Lots of news stories, and a tweet from the “real” Signal, clarified that Musk was not talking about Signal Advance. The stock kept going up. (It’s still trading at roughly 10 times its pre-tweet price, weeks later.)

Has anyone created a news-skimming trading bot that does the equivalent of making trades based on typosquatting to buy call options on SIGL or ZOOM when the more famous companies show up in the news? I am disappointed I could only find one reference to Parler:

This is a bad, authoritarian, extreme leftist law, supported by people who fundamentally oppose freedom.

I hope that companies figure out how to satisfy the letter of this nonsensical legislation without creating too much cost for typical consumers who do not care about this, and who will be negatively impacted by the selfish, self-righteous, big government loving fools who support it.

If self-repair was important to consumers, market forces would have brought it to bear.

It is not important to consumers.
How Shorter Work Weeks Could Become a Reality After Covid-19
I took some time to view your site and your Show Startups page.

I'll comment on your Zero to Century project as it's launched.

I think the gist of what the OP is asking is working on a startup idea that can potentially be very viable financially.

There's a lot of companies doing what your Zero to Century aims to do (stickk.com) comes to mind - which you may already be aware of.

Looking at stickk as an example, their approach is more generalized (ie. any commitment and not one tied to a particular activity) and thus a much bigger market. For your product, the question comes simply to what is the size of your market that would potentially pay for your accountability service for bike riding. The second question is how would you even reach this market.

Is it possible that this product would reach $50K, $100K, or more in a year in revenue? How many months, years would that take? How much marketing effort is there in terms of time and cost? I don't know the answer to these but considering you are targeting B2C and competing with products like Stickk my intuition tells me it would be hard.

So, I guess one constructive feedback I can give you is that I see a lot of projects that you are working on. It seems that you enjoy building these projects. I don't see the type of deep critical analysis that would indicate that you have a path to substantial revenue.

Out of the projects you have listed, which one could actually generate $100K a year in revenue after 1-4 years in the market? Personally, I start with that question and go from there. Just based on cursory look, it seems that this question is at the tail end of your analysis.
> That's all they are, they are not facts.

And that's why I said, "I think that will be borne out by research if anyone ever looks into it."

> You know what else does irreparable harm? Failing classes because you can't see!

And I am implying that I believe we are treating that problem sub-optimally and that I believe a better solution could be found for the majority of cases where myopia is an issue.

I read back through what I wrote and I believe I had a fairly measured tone with it. You disagree, that's fine. The whole point of "science" is that people are allowed to have contrary hypotheses and the data should be the final arbiter or who is correct.
Your article refers to the "regime semiaberto" that Lula was offered after completing one sixth of his sentence. This was prior to the Brazilian Supreme Court ruling that released him on 8 November 2019. His case is still pending before the Supremo Tribunal Federal.

This does not imply that "If the person does not go to jail, then the person was telling the truth."
Mpi over ssh sounds like a bad idea. Typically hpc clusters have a highly optimized vendor libmpi. E.g. cray has an abi compatible libmpi.so to mpich, so you are likely better of replacing the libmpi.so in your container with the vendor version by mounting a bunch of paths from the host. That can be a hook like nvidia has for their gpu support. One container runtime that does this is Sarus: https://github.com/eth-cscs/sarus

> > Kankerlijer means "cancer sufferer". It is a strong insult: an example of its legal status can be found in a 2008 court case, in which using the word kankerlijer to insult a police officer was cited as a serious offense.

It isn't about offending, but insulting.

It isn't legal in the Netherlands to insult police officers in function regardless of how polite the language is. One can't walk up to one and say “I find your face most æsthetically displeasing.” for instance.

Certainly not a law I agree with, in any case, and thankfully it's becoming more and more of a dead letter, but occasionally people are prosecuted for it.

It would depend on the wording of the Right to Repair law

Most of them are placing a burdern on the Manufacturer of the products to release tools, documentations, parts, etc that allow independent repair, this type of right to repair would not in anyway be in conflict with DMCA, as DMCA allows manufacturers to release tools to "circumvent" their own production, what is illegal is a 3rd party releasing a tool with out manufacture/copyright holder agreement

Most state level right to repair laws say "Fine if you want to sell a device that does not allow for independent repair you product is not welcome in this state"

Thus no conflict with DMCA
Interesting! I don't recall seeing this before, and the app otherwise held up to the HN hug of death which was unexpected given nothing is optimised.

You didn't miss anything, it is Adams trying to prove voter fraud by taking videos out of context that have been fact checked already - but he added scary music and called the people doing their jobs "bullies" so it must be true.

No, see, this is precisely the problem. You're just making up a different version of the tweet to fit your narrative.

The tweet explicitly says "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities". The WHO team didn't get there until Jan 20. https://www.who.int/china/news/detail/22-01-2020-field-visit...

Because everyone was wondering at the time if they had the evidence yet.

That's not what they said, though.

You would refer to the warheads on Minuteman 3 & PeaceKeeper ICBMs, Trident SLBMs, and B63/B81 bombs as "atomic bombs", would you not? All of the above are thermonuclear fusion weapons.

The tactical nukes I believe you are referring to are the W54 Davey Crockett, W48 6.1" shell, and W79 8" shell, all pure linear implosion fission weapons. All of those have been out of service since 1992, though.

>I'd take targeted ads at all time over random ads.

Why?

It's not the content you want and the fundamental idea behind targeted ads is precise manipulation of people's behavior which is an extremely dangerous thing to have at scale.

Yeah. I'm almost certain I was the one who got sick of having no idea what a user would see when they opened their email that I asked for _some way_ of see it. (Otherwise it was this strange dance of "Request a password recovery and tell me what it says.") I don't recall if I ever considered that it might be a _massive security hole_ if anyone got a hold of it. In retrospect . . .

(I overlapped with Shog at Stack Overflow.)
This isn't how mail-in ballots work, though.

For mail-in ballots, a hand-filled ballot is scanned, and if there's a discrepancy it gets corrected then re-printed by an official in a process called adjudication. This is supposed to be done in front of an observer from both parties so security checks like signature matching can be performed, which was not done as evidenced in the Fulton county video footage.

Mail-in voting creates the opportunity for mass manufacturing ballots as well as hijacking ballot adjudication processes, especially if you block bipartisan observation to circumvent security checks put in place specifically to mitigate these types of fraud.

And "hand recounts" would not uncover these issues. [1]

You don't need "widespread" fraud to overturn an election. Biden only won 16% of counties. Only a few key counties need to be targeted to flip a national election.

IMO: any database used for voting that doesn't always have monotonically increasing counts is questionable (regardless of what happened in 2020.)
This is 100% correct, and for those that doubt this I present the following link of a popular Reddit thread on masks from this time period, where the hundreds of commenters appear to unanimously agree that "masks work" is not only pseudoscience, but an outright conspiracy theory with zero backing, concluding that having your kid wear one to school makes you an asshole that follows misinformation (I wish I was exaggerating, but I am only quoting the comments of the link): https://old.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/fe2oqg/aita_...

Random sampling is always able to prove as accurately as you wish that something is true. Increase the sample size as needed.

Georgia was the closest percentagewise in 2020. 4935487 votes were cast between Trump and Biden, and the difference was 11779 votes. However, even if Georgia went to Trump, Biden still wins, so you're forced to check states with even larger gaps.

However, even in Georgia, to claim the election should have gone the other way with 99% certainty, it is not hard to check wherever you want. This was done by many groups, for example here [1]. Of course, given the sheer idiocy of Trump followers and news support, they don't educate their supporters on any of this, because the facts destroy their claims.

Since voter records are public in pretty much every state (every one I've looked at over the past few elections let you download them), it's trivial for researchers to do this sampling. They do this every election, and that is how they make the statements they do about the extremely low rates of fraud - they did do the testing.

Trump and co did it too, and found nothing. They had the lists immediately, because they started publishing names they claimed were fraudulent, and in each case the media showed them wrong. So they were looking at the names.

And even with those names, and the ability to sample, they still didn't put forth any solid evidence. Sampling irregularities would have been enough to get more eyes looking. But they knew (just like Trump knew in 2016 with his Clinton 3M illegal votes charade that he eventually dropped) that this is a lie.

You're talking about now, I'm talking about then. We had a ton of extra unused capacity and could have loosened restrictions back then, but didn't. If we had, then maybe people could have handled doing this longer, but we didn't and so people care less and less about following the restrictions.
